Marin Kitagawa

(marin pov)

My name is Marin Kitagawa, I'm a first year high school student at Shuchiin Academy. As I was about to return home from school, I was confronted by a group of thugs in the alley.

I was forced, to go with them, but I refused to obey them and screamed for help. I wish someone would come to help me.

Then my wish came true and a man appeared to help me. He seems to be a student at Shuchiin Academy, just like me.

I was worried, he would be beaten by a group of thugs who surrounded me. So I screamed at his to call the police instead of trying to fight to save me.

However, the man didn't listen to what I said and instead tried to fight. I was afraid he would get hurt, because he was trying to save me.

But to my astonishment, the man managed to beat 3 thugs who wanted to harass me. Even that couldn't be called a fight, but rather a one-sided massacre.

The man used footwork like martial arts, to defeat 3 thugs, in less than 4 seconds.

That looks really cool.

Did I just see a martial arts move that just came out of a manga?

After the 3 thugs fainted.

The man who saved me, walked up to me and asked.

Masamune: "Err.. Are you okay?"

The man asked, but I was still in a state of shock and didn't know what to say..

(Masamune pov)

Masamune: "Are you calm now?"

I asked the girl who was sitting next to me, after I rescued her and reported a group of thugs to the police. I took her away to a crowded place, and told her to sit on a chair to talk.

Marin: "Yeah.. now I'm calm. By the way, thank you very much for saving me earlier."

Masamune: "You're welcome, next time please be more careful. Don't walk in the alley alone."

Marina: "Ugh..."

The girl lowered her head regretfully, for she had almost experienced the worst, if I had not saved her then.

*I sigh*

I looked at my phone and looked at the clock, it was 7pm. Damn, I'm late for home and I haven't prepared dinner for Sagiri.

Masamune: "Let me take you home, because it's dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night."

Marin: "Eh! Isn't that troublesome?"

Masamune: "It's okay, let's hurry. By the way, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Izumi Masamune, a first year high school student at Shuchiin Academy."

Marin: "My name is Marin Kitagawa, I'm also a first year high school at Shuchiin Academy. You can call me Marin!"

Masamune: "Alright Marin-san, you can also call me Masamune. Now let's quickly show me the way back to your house.

Marin: "Yes, Masamune-kun!"

I started walking and escorted Marin back to her house.

Marin Kitagawa is a slender girl of above average height with dark pink contacts in her eyes and light skin.

Her body is on the thinner side with a small waist circumference. She has fine blonde hair, tipped with pink, reaching down around her pelvic area. Her bangs cover most of her forehead and eyebrows, reaching around the beginning of her eyelashes. Two strands of hair also flowed down her shoulders and ended around her chest area.

Her hairstyles include long straight hair, single ponytail, double ponytail, double top knot, bun, and single top ponytail. In terms of gradients, her hair goes from pure blonde on top and progressively pink down. She wears ear piercings which include one ring piercing, three pearl piercings,

she wears a white button-down shirt with one breast pocket on the left, navy blue tie, plaid skirt, black socks, and brown shoes. She also wears a stretchy black choker, two bracelets on her left arm, and rings on both her right little finger and left index finger.

She has a quirky fashion sense, but looks good to look at. Honestly, she looks really pretty.

System: "Have you finished the monologue?"

*Cough*

'Miss system what's wrong? You are jealous?'

System: "I'm not, you bastard!"

'Then what is it?'

System: "*sigh* do you remember the quest reward?"

'Ah! I just remembered now.'

System: "Seriously? What good is that Photography Memory cheat you have."

'To always remember you, my system~"

System: "Haa! W-What are you saying!"

Tsundere again...

System: "I AM NOT A TSUNDERE!!"

'Yes, yes. By the way, I will open my present at home. I don't want to feel the pain halfway through, when I open the gifts, which are installed automatically."

System: "Tch! So you remember.."

'Fuhahahaha! I won't be stuck with the auto feature anymore miss!"

After talking to the system inside my head. I also often talk to Marin, on the way to her house.

Marin: "Thank you Masamune-kun! This is my house, would you like to stop by first?"

Masamune: "No, maybe next time. I have to go home now too."

Marin: "Okay, then. Be careful on the road! And don't forget to call me after you get home!"

After dropping off Marin and exchanging contact info with her. I went straight to my house.

I'm currently in my room and lying on the bed.

'Okay, System. Receive rewards from quests.'

System: "Be prepared for pain."

---

*DING!*

*Quest completed*

Rewards earned: 1000SP and the power of Captain America.

---

I took a deep breath and got ready.

System: "Start automatic installation of 'Captain America's Power'... 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1."

Come!

Masamune: "Arrrrgh!"

I screamed feeling the changes in my body. I could feel every part of my muscles stretching and loosening, as if my body was trying to increase my muscle mass.

My skin started to turn red, because my body temperature was getting hotter. I could also feel every organ in my body starting to change, making the pain I feel even more intense.

Receiving the power of Captain America, it must be the same as receiving the 'Super Soldier Serum' from Studio MARVEL.

Damn, so this is what happened to Steve Rogers, before he became Captain America.

Masamune: "Arghh! It hurts!"

This process lasts for 30 minutes.

Masamune: "Ha.. Ha... Ha... Finally finished..."

System: "Congratulations! Weeb! You now have America's ass!"

I didn't have the energy to reply to the system's ramblings, and immediately passed out on my bed.

(Author's Note)

I'd like to ask.

After the Protagonist gains Captain America's powers, he now has physical strength that surpasses that of a normal human.

So I'm confused. Who can be the opponent of the Protagonist in him current world? Should I add characters from martial arts anime?

I don't want the Protagonist to be the strongest right away, due to getting some upgrades.
